Through the Valoramas Community Grant Fund (VCGF), Valoramas will make financial grants to qualified organizations. In most cases the grants awarded will be unrestricted. Please click here to see additional details in our Frequently Asked Questions.

Valoramás intends, in the first quarter of 2012, to make initial Founders’ Grants to a number of worthy Latino-serving non-profit and non-governmental organizations throughout the United States. Please check our website frequently for updates and new information about this critical community program, including the relevant portion of our Frequently Asked Questions, available here.

This page will include information on our community partners, links to community information, information on grant recipients (including our Founders’ Grants), and other features. Our objective is to make it easier for our community partners and our members to connect, organize, and, together, effect positive change:

“Few will have the greatness to bend history; but each of us can work to change a small portion of the events, and in the total of all these acts will be written the history of this generation. . . .It is from numberless diverse acts of courage . . . [and] … belief that human history is shaped.

Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”

- Robert F. Kennedy
